When Racism Comes A Knockin...
16 Sep 2009 | 11:18 amCan white liberals keep their eye on the prize? By LudovicSpeaks I've been disappointed by white liberals and progressives' unwillingness and incompetence combating racism for 20 years. The inaction of large green groups on Van Jones resignation is yet another example. The NAACP, Equal Justice Society and Color of Change explicitely supported Van Jones before his resignation. On the white side, Treehugger, Grist and a few other small white organizations did. But the Sierra Club, Environmental Defense Fund, Greenpeace, and NRDC, who together must represent more than $100 million of mostly… -

Cheerleader Blackface: The Cultural Function of Pretend Shock

And at this point I don’t know what more there is to say. Well, come to think of it, there was never much to say in the first place. Because here we tend to deal more in the subtle nuances of racism; when something is as out and out wrong as painting yourself black for a lark, you don’t need us to deconstruct it for you.

Open Thread: Cornel West on Stephen Colbert – Respect or Mockery?
2 Nov 2009 | 8:01 amBy Deputy Editor Thea Lim The Colbert Report is pretty hit and miss. But most of the time I enjoy it. Potentially that’s because Stephen Colbert’s satire is so impenetrable that I have little idea as to what his real politics are…which means I can just project my own politics onto him. Jon Stewart on the other hand is less of a blank space. We get a much clearer sense of what he truly believes, making it (well, at least to this grump) easier to dislike him. When Cornel West guested on the Colbert Report last week, my sleuthing skills went on overdrive. What does…

Who's Right: Henry Louis Gates or the Arresting Police Officer?
Said Henry Louis Gates, Jr. after his recent arrest: "I can't believe that an individual policeman on the Cambridge police force would treat any African-American male this way ... [or] any citizen of the United States, no matter what their race." The police report from Cambridge Officer James Crowley, however, paints a disorderly Gates, "exhibiting loud and tumultuous behavior, in a public place, directed at a uniform police officer who was present investigating a report of a crime in progress." When asked to step outside his home, Gates reportedly replied, "I'll… -
Racial Tensions Stirred by Henry Louis Gates Arrest Could Grow
By Bonnie Erbe, Thomas Jefferson Street blog O.J. Simpson, Simi Valley, Rodney King. They all stand as visions of a racially divided America, an aspect of American life and culture of which no one is proud. I'm just wondering if the controversy surrounding the clash between renowned African-American scholar Henry Gates and a sergeant in the Cambridge police department is going to become a clash of larger proportions. And I hope it does not. -
Harvard Prof Arrested in His Own Home
Henry Louis Gates Jr. is one of the most prominent African-American scholars in the world. He's written and edited more than 50 books. He's hosted several series and specials on television. He's received 49 honorary degrees from colleges and universities across the world. He was named as one of the 25 most influential Americans by Time magazine in 1997. And he's the director of the W. E. B. DuBois Institute for African and African-American Research at Harvard University. He's kind of a big deal. That's why it was surprising when Cambridge, Mass., police showed up at Gates's house on… -
In Recession, Age Discrimination Is More Prominent Than Racism
By Bonnie Erbe, Thomas Jefferson Street blog. The good news for boomers, or workers 45 and older, is that if you were employed before the recession, you're less likely than younger workers to be fired (former GMC Chair Rick Wagoner one noted exception, however). The bad news is: Workers ages 45 and over form a disproportionate share of the hard-luck recession category, the long-term unemployed—those who have been out of work for six months or longer, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Richmond Gang Rape Raises Race Issue

More than two hours had already lapsed. The rape has also raised the issue of race. The young white girl in this CNN video protests that school officials are not providing security at Richmond High School… -
Black AIDS: Complex Risk Factors Defy Easy Explanations
31 Oct 2009 | 4:43 amIn the political minefield surrounding the AIDS epidemic, myth and fact often trip over each other, especially in communities most deeply scarred by the disease. The striking prevalence of HIV/AIDS among Black Americans has set off much speculation and confusion. Some research suggests the epidemic is driven in part by men having sex with men—on the “down low”—and then infecting straight Black women. But researchers are discovering that the real story of Black AIDS has far more twists and turns than previously thought. It's clear that Blacks are hit harder by HIV/AIDS…

Response to University Race Quotas Row in Brazil
2 Nov 2009 | 8:59 pmThe BBC news has a report about pressure to end redressive racial quotas in Brazil. To understand this controversy, it is important to know something about the context of skin color in Brazil. The color hierarchy in Brazilian society is obvious. With few exceptions, the Brazilian middle class and above is white. Go to any nice restaurant in Rio de Janeiro, for example, where about half of that city’s population is black or mixed-race, and you will be hard-pressed to find a nonwhite person that is not on the staff. Racial discrimination accounts for much of this inequality. The… -
Throwaway Cities: Systemic Racism and Capitalism
1 Nov 2009 | 7:11 pmphoto credit: lessismoreorless The British Guardian/Observer just did one of the better stories I have seen on US cities suffering greatly in this Bush depression–showing that in Detroit things are worse than in the great Depression of the 1930s. Much of Motor City is now “a ghost town.” The 1930s saw official unemployment reach about 25 percent. Today it is 29 percent in Detroit. This predominantly black city has lost more than half its population in recent years as U.S. capitalists have made many poor decisions, usually in the name of profit, including disinvestment in U.S. -
More Driving While Black (DWB): Are Parts of the US a “Police State”?
31 Oct 2009 | 12:10 pmA few months back, in the Los Angeles Times Howard Witt had an important article on a lawsuit alleging that police officers in a Texas town are using property confiscation laws to create police-state type situations. One is Tenaha, in northeast Texas near the Louisiana border: You can drive into this dusty fleck of a town . . . if you’re African American, but you might not be able to drive out of it — at least not with your car, your cash, your jewelry or other valuables. That’s because the police here allegedly have found a way to strip motorists, many of them black, of… -
Driving While Latino (DWL): More Racial Profiling
30 Oct 2009 | 2:07 pmOver at the Texas Observer the savvy Melissa del Bosque has more details on the extreme racial profiling that Latinos face in Texas, and not just being arrested in Dallas for speaking Spanish: In Dallas, she notes: At least 38 people have been cited for not speaking English since 2007. Almost all of them were Hispanic and none of the officers who issued the citations were Hispanic. Interesting how speaking Spanish, or not speaking English, has become a common excuse for discrimination. ‘Tis now central to the white racial framing of Latinos. (Leading anthropologist Jane Hill has… -
Hate Crimes Legislation Passes Congress (UPDATED)
27 Oct 2009 | 1:10 pmBruce DeBoskey, an Anti-Defamation Mountain States Regional Director, has reported and analyzed some good news, the fact that the US House and US Sentate have, after years of white conservatives blocking it, passed the Hate Crimes Prevention Act (introduced in Congress in 1999: It has been 11 years since Matthew Shepard was beaten, tied to a lonely Wyoming fence, and left to die because his attackers hated gay men. That same year, James Byrd, Jr., was dragged to his death behind a pickup truck in Jasper, Texas, a victim of a racially motivated crime. One of Byrd’s attackers wore tattoos…

Merkins
3 Nov 2009 | 1:00 pmSo Sunday an American won the New York City Marathon for the first time since 1982: Meb Keflezighi, who won yesterday in New York, is technically American by virtue of him becoming a citizen in 1998, but the fact that he’s not American-born takes away from the magnitude of the achievement the headline implies. Source. Keflezighi was born in Eritrea. So apparently he isn’t a “real American”: Nothing against Keflezighi, but he’s like a ringer who you hire to work a couple hours at your office so that you can win the executive softball league.The positive sign was… -
Speaking of which

Or couldn’t read it
2 Nov 2009 | 2:00 pmSome sportswriter referred to Yao Ming as “the 7′6″ Chinaman.” And then I noticed Angry Asian Man reported that somebody called Yi Jianlian “the Chinaman.” Guess they didn’t get the memo. -
Seriously.
30 Oct 2009 | 10:00 amSometimes I think college students get dumber all the time, what with all the racist theme parties and black history month “celebrations” and whatnot. Elite universities are not exempt (in fact, it might be argued that our newest generations of white privilege are trained there). Vox’s list got so long you had to keep pressing the scroll key. Here’s the latest iteration of “just relax–it’s all in good fun!” with regard to racist Halloween costumes. The writer notes as follows: Halloween is a break from the stresses of everyday life, a… -
Sleeping while brown
30 Oct 2009 | 5:00 amShort synopsis: Chinese student rents a townhome. Goes to sleep inside. Somebody sees him, calls the police. Police check with the rental office, and the representative says the unit is supposed to be empty. Police enter the unit. Officer reports he can’t understand the guy and apparently he was a menace. So he tases him. Then the rental agent remembers that he rented the unit a few hours before. Oops. (Thanks to Angry Asian Man for the story link.) Oh, and the cop was involved in a previous Taser incident. But he was recently named officer of the year. Kinda like how…

Roy campaign stoops to a new low
2 Nov 2009 | 1:37 pm…just when you thought things couldn't get worse with the Derrick Roy campaign.There are now numerous reports that the Republican dormitory student who's running for the Common Council 5th wards seat is going around to people residents and asking them to vote for vote for himself and Fred Visconti as if they're on the same ticket (Visconti has a long and distinguished career as a firefighter and Roy is a volunteer firefighter). What's worse is that my same sources are telling me that after, after giving the impression that he and Visconti are on the same ticket, Roy's camp is dropping lawn… -
Anger in the wrong direction
1 Nov 2009 | 6:55 amToday's letter to the editor from Maureen Garry underlines one of the many problems with our school system, which Gary Goncalves raised during his campaign, and you'll hear more about after the elections.The shortage of textbooks and access to online books at Danbury High School is alarming, to say the least. How did this happen, and what will the implications be for the students' overall education? What will this mean for students taking SATs next year and applying to college?Perhaps the city will be moved to do something when the results of this book deficit become apparent in standardized… -
Phone calls
31 Oct 2009 | 1:10 pmGrr...My phone has been going off the hook with political calls! Last week I received TWO calls form the Republican Town Committee where someone read a script about Boughton's "accomplishments."Last night, I received a call from the Gary Goncalves and William Totten campaign.Today, I received a polling call regarding the town clerk race (btw: Louise, did you pay your taxes yet?) AND a poll call regarding the mayoral race....oh, did I mention that ALL of these calls were to my CELLPHONE!!!!Grr... -
Dirty politics
31 Oct 2009 | 8:59 amThis letter to the editor pretty much sums up Mayor Mark Boughton's dirty campaign tactics that has gone on behind the scenes.I vote for the candidate, not the party. This time, Mark Boughton does not get my vote. Too much has gone wrong, been neglected, and corruption predominates, especially when representatives from City Hall call a landlord three times asking him to remove a Goncalves sign from his building's window.Even some of the City Hall employees aren't necessarily fans of his. Worried about feeding their families and keeping a roof over their heads, they keep the silenceDirty…

Hiatus
28 Oct 2009 | 7:09 pmI’ve come to the realization that it is time for a break. As I sit writing this blog, I’m a little sad and relieved. Sad that I will not be blogging for the next few months. And relieved that I won’t be blogging for the next few months. Don’t worry, I will be writing. Once a writer [...] -
The Affirmative Action Peace Prize
20 Oct 2009 | 7:47 amI’m not old enough to have witnessed the road Dr. King walked towards his goal of equal rights for every American. But I do remember the televised struggles of dark-skinned South Africans like Bishop Tutu and Nelson Mandela against a racist regime. And how could I ever forget Lech Walesa’s struggle against communism in Poland? [...] -
The Empowerment Experiment
7 Oct 2009 | 8:50 pmDid you EE today? That’s what Maggie and John Anderson want to know. The Andersons, an African American couple living in a Chicago suburb, started The Empowerment Experiment (or EE) in January 2009. When they ask their signature question (did you EE today), they are asking if you bought from a black-owned business. Their reasoning? To defy [...] -
Where are all the black people?
29 Sep 2009 | 7:30 am“Where are all the black people?” That’s what National Park Ranger Shelton Johnson has been asking for many years. Ranger Johnson has worked for the National Park Service for more than 20 years, spent mostly at Yosemite. And in those years he’s seen so few blacks that he refers to black visitors as ‘a sighting.’ When I [...] -
Tip Sheets: Call for Ideas
25 Sep 2009 | 7:20 amThis blog, 17Seeds, is all about spreading ideas that lead to biblically-based racial reconciliation. Toward that end, I formed the goal to create 17 tip sheets. So far I’ve only written four. Two more are in the works, but I’ve run out of ideas. This is where you step in, with your cape waving artistically in [...]
